Oil production from Australia's Bass Strait fields will be raised by 11,000 barrels a day to about 321,000 
barrels with the launch of the Whiting field, the first of five small fields scheduled to be brought into 
production before the end of 1990. Esso Australia Ltd., a unit of New York-based Exxon Corp., and Broken Hill 
Pty. operate the fields in a joint venture. Esso said the Whiting field started production Tuesday. Output will
be gradually increased until it reaches about 11,000 barrels a day. The field has reserves of 21 million barrels.
Reserves for the five new fields total 50 million barrels. The Perch and Dolphin fields are expected to start 
producing early next year, and the Seahorse and Tarwhine fields later next year. Esso said the fields were 
developed after the Australian government decided in 1987 to make the first 30 million barrels from new fields 
free of excise tax.
